Chapter 6 Create Circuits and VT Tunnels
NTP-A182 Create a Manually Routed DS-1 Circuit
• If you entered more than 1 in the Number of Circuits field and did not choose Auto-ranged, the
Circuit Creation dialog box appears so you can create the remaining circuits. Repeat Steps 5
through 17 for each additional circuit. After completing the circuits, the Circuits window appears.
Step 19 In the Circuits window, verify that the new circuits appear in the circuits list.
Step 20 Complete the “NTP-A135 Test Electrical Circuits” procedure on page 6-36. Skip this step if you built a
test circuit.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A182 Create a Manually Routed DS-1 Circuit
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node where you will create the circuit.
If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 If you want to assign a name to the circuit source and destination ports before you create the circuit,
complete the “DLP-A314 Assign a Name to a Port” task on page 20-8. If not, continue with Step 3.
Step 3 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 4 Click the Circuits tab, then click Create.
Step 5 In the Circuit Creation dialog box, complete the following fields:
• Circuit Type—Choose VT. VT cross-connects will carry the DS-1 circuit across the ONS 15454
network.
• Number of Circuits—Enter the number of DS-1 circuits you want to create. The default is 1.
• Auto-ranged—Applies to automatically routed circuits only. If you entered more than 1 in the
Number of Circuits field, uncheck this box. (The box is unavailable if only one circuit is entered in
Number of Circuits.)
Step 6 Click Next.
Step 7 Define the circuit attributes (Figure 6-1 on page 6-8):
• Name—Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters
(including spaces). Circuit names should be 44 characters or less if you want the ability to create
monitor circuits. If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
• Size—VT1.5 is the default. You cannot change it.
• Bidirectional—Leave checked for this circuit (default).
Purpose This procedure creates a DS-1 circuit and allows you to provision the
circuit route.
